      Love’s a bitch…

      UnstuckOpera presents a re-composition of Henry Purcell’s classic opera Dido and Aeneas

      Never been to the opera? This is the perfect playful introduction. Audiences explore every inch of the Basement Theatre in this promenade production and watch as Dido falls for Aeneas, witches wreak havoc and we ask; is love really a choice? 

      Dido and Aeneas: Recomposed is produced by UnstuckOpera, an ensemble of some of Auckland’s most exciting young operatic talent, led by director Frances Moore and award-winning composer Alex Taylor.

      UnstuckOpera’s Dido and Aeneas:Recomposed  is intimate, unashamedly subversive, sometimes absurd and completely and utterly heart-breaking.


      LOCK OUT IN PLACE FOR FIRST SCENE ONLY. AUDIENCE MAY JOIN AT ANY TIME AFTER THAT.
